Ceci est le compartiment personnel d'Alkanor, ainsi que sa tombe et son cercueil.

This is Alkanor's own recess, his burial place and his casket.

Questa è la nicchia personale di Alkanor, la sua tomba e la sua bara.

هذا هو الركن أو التجويف الخاص بألكانور، مكان دفنه ونعشه.

For this tomb (not seen by Cassels), see [...], p. 89, who described and named it ‘Red Tomb'.

The word ὀπά means 'insight, opening'. Besides this example, it is also used in four instances, out of which three clearly mention lintels of monumental doors (IGCyr020700, IGCyr022400, IGCyr017300, IGCyr096800).
